As some of you may recall, Boyfriend and I are collecting wine corks.
We’ve made decent progress. We’re doing everything we can.
So I thought I’d give you some dos and don’ts for how to open a bottom of wine.
DO: Unscrew the top*
*For screw-top wines
DO use a wine opener
Preserve the cork. DON’T break it into pieces.
DON’T break the wine opener
If you broke the wine opener, then DON’T use a screwdriver and hammer
And definitely DON’T use your teeth.
Also DON’T try to break it open.

| The wine will fall into the bowl, we'll strain the pieces of glass out and voila! Genius, no? |
In conclusion, DO have an extra wine opener handy.
And now you know the right way to open a bottle of wine! What’s the weirdest way you’ve opened one? And seriously, what should I do with all these corks?!
I've yet to try this. I might start drinking again just to give it a shot.

I remember this one. Have you done any more projects besides the trivets you guys made?
ReplyDeleteI still think Sutter should be sponsoring your blog. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat advice here! I hate when the cork breaks in half in the bottle!
ReplyDeleteIn an emergency, you can place the wine bottle in a shoe and then bash the sole of the shoe against a wall. Cork pops right out. Yay for science majors down the hall...
